A wiki is

an easy-to-use web page that multiple people can edit. PBwiki
(http://www.pbwiki.com/) is one the easiest way to get a wiki for your classroom or for
yourself. For example, if you want a classroom web page, you could add your syllabus
and handouts right to your PBwiki in 30 seconds. The wiki used for this day is from
wikispaces http://www.wikispaces.com/.

What else can I do with a wiki?

Let your students collaborate: They can use a wiki to do group work or each
create their own personal web page.

Demo your work: Use your wiki as an easy portfolio for learning and
technology in your classroom. You can create an online slideshow to demo your
work with one click.

Keep others informed: Set up a page in your wiki to update parents on what
your classroom is doing, or to update students on changes to your syllabus. It's
live and editable anytime.
